What's the difference between Bronsted-Lowry acids and Lewis acids?
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor. (Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases only involve protons or H+)A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. (Lewis acids and bases involve the transfer of electrons, a bit like nucleophiles and electrophiles found in organic chemistry)
